I am not a professional photographer but I do have pretty good skills in it and I have huge collection of my own photographies:) . I would like making some earnings out of my own photographies but haven't found a good and reliable way:confused: . My question is; does any know if there is any websites, organizations, companies , etc. that buys photographies? Did anyone out there made real and practical incomes by selling your own photographies even though you not a professional photographer? Please, answer me if you have.

You become a professional by marketing your abilities. Getting your work in front of the public. Can you do small artistic shows and showcase your work by way of framing, etc and selling pieces. No one will recognize you unless you take the time to do this.

My stained glass became known in my surrounding area because I put my name in and paid a small fee to go in garden groups who wanted artistis to show and sell their artwork. I had business cards made up and went in small shows in the surrounding towns, although I bypassed arts and crafts because that is not how I wanted to display my work and is actually not a craft related art.

I suggest you just work on getting your work out there and shown no matter how it has be done. Its is hard work and time consuming but pays off in the end. You could also put your work in shops for commission only.
